The next day at U.A was pretty unremarkable for Izuku and Setsuna.
For Katsuki, however, it was one of the craziest days of his life.
"HA HA HA HA HA!"
'No fuckin' way is All Might about to come through that door and teach us.'
"I HAVE COME THROUGH THE DOOR LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!"
'No fuckin' way!… This is the best day of my life! Hey Izuku, beat this, you damn Hothead!' The ash-blonde boy thought eagerly, sitting ramrod straight in his seat for the first time that day and starting to lean forward in anticipation.
'But I doubt All Might's here to teach us some normal shitty subject. The only reason he'd be here was if we were gonna be-'
The number one Hero's signature grin somehow grew wider, although it was nowhere near the level of Katsuki's as the boy read what was written on the card he was holding up. "TODAY OUR ACTIVITY WILL BE… BATTLE TRAINING!"
'Oh, fuck yeah.'
Converging outside in their Hero costumes, Katsuki had to admit that some of the outfits his classmates had picked out were actually not bad.
There were some that were just stupid, like High Class' -what was she gonna do if someone attacked her, like, anywhere? She could fucking trip and end up injured in that- and Purple Freak's - is that a fucking diaper?- but others, like Shitty Hair or the Frog, had costumes that seemed about right for functionality and what he'd seen of their quirks.
Obviously, none of them came even close to comparing with his, though.
"I WILL SPLIT YOU INTO RANDOM TEAMS OF TWO," All Might was saying, "AND THEN YOU WILL GO UP AGAINST EACH OTHER IN MOCK BATTLES OF HEROES AND VILLAINS!"
Frog looked at him quizzically. "So no basic training?"
Bakugo could have laughed. 'FUCK basic training!'
All Might said pretty much the same thing, but in a nicer way. "PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE WILL TEACH YOU THE BASICS, HAHAHAHA!"
After a whole load more talking, they finally got down to business.
Katsuki was in a huff.
It had been too easy!
Like, sure, he'd been able to show off in front of All Might.
And his teammate for the exercise, Ears, hadn't been half bad. She was actually pretty skilled.
But he'd come to U.A for a challenge, to get better!
He hadn't even needed to use an above average explosion, for fuck's sake!
They'd been on the Villain team, protecting their bomb against the team which had Four-Eyes and Dunce Face. And it had been way too easy.
Ears had been easily able to tell when they were coming, and wanted to go with the plan of moving the bomb to a new location whenever they got close. Katsuki wasn't having that, however. He'd stood strong in that room and refused to budge until his opponents got there.
Dunce Face had burst in and went to release his strongest discharge everywhere. Which would have been a good move, had Katsuki not been literally releasing an explosion in his gut as he entered.
The blonde had slumped to the ground, and Four-Eyes had leapt over him, prattling on about how 'as a Hero, it was his duty to deliver justice to all evildoers' as he sped towards the bomb.
A quick explosion to his feet had him tripping, however, and when he got up, Katsuki was in front of him again.
'Now I'll get a good challenge.' Katsuki thought with a grin. "Hey, do your fuckin' best, Four-Eyes!"
The boy was visibly taken aback, before his armour clad form pointed at the Bakugo boy. "Of course, such crass language is to be expected from a Villain such as yourself!"
Katsuki cracked his neck. "Yeah, yeah, yeah. Come at me!"
The bespectacled student sprinted towards him, engines in his calves flaring as he raced at the 'Villain' he faced.
Katsuki grinned. Dodging under the telegraphed kick that swung for his head, he threw a right hook at Iida's torso, blasting him backwards.
"Gahk!" The boy stumbled back a few steps, before going for another kick that Bakugo flipped over with a few well placed explosions, before blasting him in the back.
Four-Eyes staggered to his feet again, before feinting a kick at Katsuki and sprinting for the bomb. The ash-blonde boy noticed Ears tensing in preparation behind him and scoffed. Only Izuku or Set had the right to guard his back!
Launching himself into a backflip with his explosions, he came down with his legs on top of his opponent's head, making the blue haired boy crumple to the ground. Iida groaned, not yet unconscious due to the helmet guarding his head.
Katsuki quickly put an end to that, though, a muted explosion sending the boy to sleep.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of Ears plugging into the floor behind him. "Bakugo! Kaminari's gone!"
"Hah?" Katsuki snarled, snapping his head to the space the blonde had previously occupied. "Where the fuck did he go?"
"He's-" Ears paused in confusion. "He's right outside?"
Suddenly, Kaminari popped back into the room, obviously stumped for a tactic differing from the original. "INDISCRIMINATE SHOCK: 1.3 MILLION-"
"Die."
Kaminari didn't wake up for a while that time.
So yeah. Katsuki was in a huff.
He hadn't even gotten to pull the pin!
Well, at least he would be able to boast to Izuku later that he'd met All Might before his green haired brother had.
The next day, Izuku and Setsuna could be found relaxing in class before their last lesson of the day. Tokage leaned back in her seat. "So, I wonder who's teaching us Heroics…"
Izuku didn't even need to think. "All Might. It'd better be, after how much Katsuki bragged yesterday."
"Oh right, he did say he was teaching at U.A." Setsuna realised as she remembered her acceptance hologram from the school, starring the number one Hero.
"Man...this is going to be awesome as hell." Izuku said, before glancing at Yui on his other side. "What do you think, Kodai?"
A light dusting of pink appeared on her cheeks. 'Why is that smile so hot yet so cute…?' Yui looked away and shrugged. "Mm." She hummed. 'Why can't I say anything to him now? I was just fine yesterday…'
They then heard the door to the classroom get kicked open, violently . "Ahhh." A familiar voice breathed out in relief. "That was a good dump." Yami said as he walked through the classroom door.
Everyone stared at him in disbelief.
"Felt like I surpassed my limits right then and there." He continued into the room, popping a cigarette in his mouth.
Wasn't smoking in schools illegal?
The majority of the class couldn't actually believe that this guy was in charge of a class. But if he was a teacher at U.A, he had to be a damn good one. "Alright, so you might be wondering why I'm here despite this being time for Heroics on your timetable. Well. I'm your heroics teacher as well."
The class blinked as one. This was unexpected.
Itsuka raised her hand. "Yes, Kendo?" Sukehiro answered dryly. He would bet a million yen he knew what she was about to ask.
"Isn't All Might supposed to be teaching our Heroics?"
'Tell 'em to bring me my money.'
He blew smoke from his smoke stick and waved it away as he put it back in his mouth.
"Nope, all me. Though he will be an 'assisting' teacher in Heroics training for today. Principal thinks it's unfair that 1-A gets all the All Might treatment. But I'll be the one teaching most of the Heroics." He said, pressing a button on a remote.
Briefcases began to emerge from the wall. "All these cases are labeled by your number on the seating chart, and they contain your Hero costumes. These costumes were designed by the support companies the school has partnerships with, to the specifications you wrote down on your request forms." Mr. Sukehiro said as he put the remote down.
He then lazily held up a card that said 'Training' on the front. Then he flipped it over, his mouth grinning around the cigarette it held.
"Battle training…" Izuku read with a grin on his face, unknowingly mirroring Katsuki's expression from yesterday.
"I'll meet you all in Ground Beta. Tardiness will result in your painful deaths by my hand." The teacher finished, strolling out peacefully as if he hadn't just delivered a real death threat.
Everyone in 1-B sweatdropped as their cigarette smoking teacher left the room. "Well, He has some...character at least." Kendo commented as she and her classmates got up to get their hero costumes.
"Although he did say All Might will be there… Man, I'm getting pumped!" Tetsutetsu said with a big toothy grin on his face. His statement garnered a nod from Izuku, standing behind him.
"Yeah, even though he will only be an assistant teacher. It's still going to be freakin' epic!" The verdette agreed, grabbing his briefcase and swinging it off the wall. "Battle training… this'll definitely be interesting."
"Yeah, hopefully I'll either get to fight you or be on your team." Kendo said to Izuku. He looked at her with a raised brow, wondering about the intentions behind her words.
She correctly guessed the meaning behind his expression. "Well, to be honest, I just want a close-up view of your fighting skills. You piqued my interest yesterday." She said as the two walked to the locker rooms along with a small group of their classmates.
Looking at the others, Izuku saw Setsuna looking like she was about to pull a prank on Itsuka and grinned. The other two with them were Kodai and Honenuki, who Izuku nodded at. Juzo returned his greeting with a raised hand, while Yui just blinked before staring straight ahead.
'I wonder if she hates me or something…'
Returning his attention to the conversation as he realised Itsuka had blocked Setsuna's finger and looked at him expectantly, Izuku grew a nervous grin. "Well, when you put it like that, I'd like to see what moves you got up your sleeve as well." He turned to the other three. "That goes for the three of you as well. I know Setsuna's probably hiding something really sneaky."
She stuck her tongue out at him. "You know me too well."
Izuku chuckled as they made it to the locker rooms. "That I do." He put his hands in his pockets. "Though I gotta say…" The greenette scratched the back of his head. "Mr. Sukehiro has piqued my interest, though." He said with a wry grin. "What about you, Kodai?"
"Hmmm." Yui hummed as she looked at him with a blank face. She blinked a couple times, trying to figure out what to say. She then shrugged and hummed in an 'I don't know' tone. 'Still can't say a word to him, huh?'
Meanwhile, Izuku was confused as to just what he'd done to make a girl so cold to him. ' I can't figure out what I did wrong if she doesn't tell me! Just say something…'
He turned back to the rest. "Well, he's definitely someone who likes to stay on the down low. I don't even know his Hero name." He said as they made it to the locker rooms. "See you girls later." He said, throwing them a peace sign.
"Peace, Jotaro, Eren." Itsuka said, giving them their shonen referenced nicknames before entering the locker rooms. Setsuna giggled as Juzo and Izuku gave them 'are you serious right now' looks.
After they got into the locker rooms and changed into their hero costumes, they made it to Ground Beta with a few minutes to spare. Izuku was one of the first ones out as his costume was one of the simplest.
He had black gloves with silver metal padding at the back of his hands and fingers, and wore slightly loose tactical military leggings with metal padding at the front of his calves. The long pants were black and had an emerald green line trailing down each side.
The pants were also torn at the bottom where it looked like the ends had burnt away. He'd also chosen to go barefoot, knowing that any footwear would both impede his quirk and get ruined.
Over those leggings he wore black shorts with an emerald green trim. On the back of the waistband of those was a utility belt that seemed to have multiple hydroflasks attached to it, all a dark silvery colour.
He wore a black long sleeved shirt that lay tight on his torso, the sleeves stopping a little over the gloves he wore and covering them a little. It had a large green X at the front of it, stretching down from each shoulder to the side of his hips. The shirt had a turtleneck that covered his entire neck, leaving only his head exposed. His whole costume had fire resistance.
"Not looking too shabby there, Green Bean." Izuku turned to see Kodai and Kendo walking up to him in their costumes. He glanced at Yui's and a light pink blush appeared on his cheeks as his nervous grin made a brief appearance.
Izuku looked at them with a chuckle as they began to walk a little further into Ground Beta. "You guys don't look too bad yourselves. Your costumes look awesome." He said to return the compliment. There was something familiar about Kodai's costume. Izuku just couldn't place a finger on it.
"Thanks, Bakugo." Itsuka said with a thumbs up as they walked around the corner. Once they arrived they saw their homeroom teacher, …and…
"All Might!" Izuku semi shouted, a grin appearing on his face again. "No fuckin' way…"
Itsuka was as excited as Izuku was. Class wasn't going to be boring at all with him around, although it probably would be chaotic enough with just Yami. Because once again, he was a U.A teacher, meaning he had probably been taught here and possessed great skill.
"I can't believe the guy's actually here…" Kamakiri said from where he was walking behind them. More 1-B students started to appear in their hero costumes. They all walked up to the two heroes.
"HA HA HA HA! HELLO, CLASS 1-B! All Might shouted, his signature laugh booming as the windows around them audibly vibrated. "AS YOU ALREADY KNOW, WE WILL BE DOING BATTLE TRAINING TODAY! IN THE FORM OF A MOCK BATTLE BETWEEN TWO TEAMS! DARK HORSE HERE WILL EXPLAIN THE REST!"
There was an audible sound of realization from the class.
Yami's eyes went white and a tick grew on his forehead. His head slowly creaked toward All Might, who had started to sweat nervously as he realised his mistake.
"...You really had to do it huh." The Hero the class now knew as 'Dark Horse' grunted as he threw his cigarette to the ground and stomped it out. Then he sighed "...Eh, whatever."
"So that's his hero name, huh?" Izuku said, not really surprised by Mr. Sukehiro's initial anger. He had figured that since Yami was an Underground Hero he would try to hide his Hero name as much as possible.
"Yeah, so shut up already and let me explain exactly what we are doing." Sukehiro said with a long-suffering sigh. "Like All Might here said, it's mock battle training. Indoors, Heroes vs Villains, to be exact. There will be two teams of two fighting against each other." He then went to explain the rules of the battle, Izuku realized it was the same exercise Katsuki did yesterday.
"Any questions before I continue?" Yami finished, bringing Izuku's attention back to the conversation. Two people put their hands up, Izuku looking round to identify them as Kendo and Honenuki. "Well, speak up." Yami prompted.
"Will we be threatened with being expelled like Class 1-A did when they took their quirk assessment test?" Juzo asked, and Yami raised a brow.
"Hell no, just don't do anything stupid. Kendo, what's your question?"
"How are we going to decide our teammates?...Eh-" Suddenly, she felt her head being grabbed and lifted off the ground. She swore she could feel her skull beginning to fracture.
"I was getting to that. I said 'before I continue'. Meaning I wasn't done yet."
"S...Sorry…" She said between whimpers, her head feeling like it was going to explode.
Yami stopped crushing her head and dropped her back down with a thud. "You'll be drawing lots from the box All Might is holding. Now does someone want to tell me why we're drawing lots instead of picking our own teams?" Izuku raised his hand to respond to the question himself. "Bakugo?"
"Because sometimes heroes are paired up with other heroes by random missions. So they'd have to adapt to the situation and coordinate what their abilities are."
"You got it." He said as All Might sweatdropped, having had no clue as to the answer. "Now, everyone come up and draw lots. Got any complaints about your teammate…? You gotta deal with me."
'Man, he is so much better at this stuff than I am. Good thing I have this small book to write it all down in…To think I'm gonna have to do this with Class 1-A, too.'All Might thought anxiously as 1-B began to draw lots.
Team A: Setsuna Tokage and Yosetsu Awase
Team B: Togaru Kamakiri and Kinoko Komori
Team C: Jurota Shinshida and Ibara Shiozaki
Team D: Manga Fukidashi and Shihai Kuroiro
Team E: Izuku Bakugo and Yui Kodai
Team F: Pony Tsunotori and Kosei Tsuburaba
Team G: Itsuka Kendo and Neito Monoma
Team H: Juzo Honenuki and Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu
Team I: Nirengeki Shoda and Sen Kaibara
Team J: Reiko Yanagi and Kojiro Bondo
"Sweet. Looks like we're a team. What do you say we kick some ass, Kodai?" Izuku said excitedly, holding a fist out. Kodai merely shrugged at him.
"Sure." She said blandly as Ibara glared daggers at him due to his profanity. "We need to wait and find out who we are fighting though…"
Yui curled her lips into a smile once more. She'd been able to find her voice to talk to him again. But the ravenette found herself questioning again…
Why did she want to talk to him so much?
Why did she continue to talk to him?
Why was it that she continued to feel so strange when he was around?
Those were questions she didn't have answers to, and she probably wouldn't ever get them.
"Alright, the first two teams are…" Sukehiro grabbed two random cards and flipped them over. "Team G as the heroes and Team E as the villains."
Izuku and Kendo looked at each other and both saw the confident smiles on their faces.
'Oh, you are SO going down.'
"Everyone else, get your asses to the observation room." Yami said, shooing the rest of the class onwards with a single hand. "Oh right, you probably don't know where that is. All Might, mind taking them there?"
"NO PROBLEMO! EVERYONE, TO THE OBSERVATION ROOM!"
Once they all had left, Yami looked at the two teams, left them there, and then came back with a huge bomb in his arms. "This is the bomb that the villains are defending. It's fake of course and it weighs no more than a brick. But you better treat it like it's real or I'm killing your asses, got it?"
"Yes sir!" Three of the students said, snapping to attention while one just stared at him quietly.
"Villains take the bomb and hide it while the heroes develop a plan. You have 5 minutes." Yami said, popping a cigarette into his mouth before taking his leave.
Izuku picked up the bomb after the two 'Villains' walked up to it. "Wow! It really is that light."
"Get ready to lose, you 1-A snob!" Monoma shouted, Dio posing and pointing at Izuku, who seemed a bit confused.
"You talking to me bud? Also, stop Dio posing, it doesn't suit you." Izuku said to the blonde as Itsuka pinched the bridge of her nose in utter disappointment. "You know we're in the same class right?"
"Not in my eyes, we aren't! You're brothers with Katsuki Bakugo and he's from 1-A!"
"By that logic, doesn't that make Izuku's brother a 1-B member too?" Kendo said, trying to restrain herself from backhanding the boy.
"...No!"
Izuku shrugged as they walked into the building. Kodai tapped Izuku's shoulder and looked at him. He gave her a nervous smile with a small blush. "What is it, Kodai?" She put her arms out, as if she wanted to hold the bomb.
"You sure?"
She nodded.
"Alright then…" He gave her the bomb and as she held it in her arms, Izuku watched as it began to shrink, on and on until it was the size of her hand.
She then gave him the toy sized bomb.
"That's fucking awesome. We could hide this in our pockets if we wanted to, but that's probably not the best idea." Izuku said as they found the stairs. They began to walk up the stairs in silence. But, surprisingly...Yui spoke up.
"So.. we should tell each other about our quirks." She said and Izuku hummed.
"Good idea. Mine is called 'Devil's Foot'. I can generate explosive flames from the soles of my feet that I can use to do awesome tricks and fly as well. The flames are produced at the cost of my oxygen supply, that's why I've got a lot of water saved up and I train my lungs everyday. Water helps hydrate the lungs making it easier for me to breath and take in oxygen. If I keep going when I exhaust my oxygen supply, I could get a sickness the doctors call 'Tephrosis'. Basically my flesh will start turning to ash and I won't be able to use my quirk anymore...haha." He lightly laughed at the end of that sentence, but it was a nervous laugh.
He had a grin bared on his face. Yui was a bit shocked, not that she showed it on her face, that he wielded such a quirk that was dangerous not only to others, but himself as well if he used it too much.
"That's dangerous…"
"Tell me about it."
"Well, my quirk is called Size, I can turn any inanimate object larger or smaller." She said, Izuku looked at her with a smile.
"That's a cool quirk. Just imagine the huge baconators you can make. That sounds like one hell of a dinner, I'm not gonna lie." He said, his grin widening. Once they reached the final floor, Izuku set the bomb down in the corner. Kodai took out a nut that people put bolts in and threw it at the doorway. She then clapped her hands together and it increased into ten times its normal size.
"Kodai, question." The ravenette looked at the boy. "Is your costume based on Ultraman?"
Stars filled Yui's blue eyes as she stared at him. Izuku dropped a sweat. 'Guess that's a yes.' He thought. "You're a big fan of the series?" She nodded rapidly.
"You?"
"Kinda, I have a few of the comics."
"I have all of them." She seemed really happy. The happiness emanating from her looked way too cute, way too cute for Izuku's poor heart to take. His face erupted in a shade of scarlet.
"W-Wow, ya do huh?" He said with his nervous grin, scratching the back of his neck. He furiously tried to suppress his blush, but it was no use.
"Alright, you brats. Timer starts now."
"...So, do we just stay here?"
Kodai shrugged.
"Doesn't seem like that much fun….Mind if I go out?" Izuku asked, tapping his bare feet on the floor. The ravenette gave him a blank stare.
"Is that really safe, though?" She quietly said, a worried look briefly overtaking her features.
Izuku pointed to the window with a thumb. "Kendo doesn't have a quirk that can make her fly, and neither does Monoma. The only way they can get in is through that door. All you gotta do is keep it barricaded. Hell, even barricade the flight of stairs that gets them up to this door." Izuku explained with a grin on his face. "Besides, I think I can take 'em."
"Mm." She then gave him a small thumbs up. But wasn't able to find her voice again. Why did it just come and go like that? She just wished she could talk with him more.
"Alright." Izuku opened the window. "Good luck, don't let them touch the bomb." Yui nodded as Izuku cheerfully jumped out. He dropped two floors down and used his quirk to hover at the window. He opened it as he landed inside. 'Alright...I'll try to be as stealthy as possible.'
"COME OUT, COME OUT, WHEREVER YOU ARE, BAKUGO!"
'...Dumbass.' Izuku mused as he crept towards the sound of the yelling. Since he was bare footed, it was a lot easier to mute his footsteps.
He stopped suddenly as he heard their footsteps get a lot louder, along with Itsuka telling Monoma to shut up before she 'accidentally' used friendly fire.
Monoma shut up real quick.
"God! It's always something with you!"
PRRRRR BOOOSH!
"Crap! Behind y-!" Izuku had kneed Kendo in the side of her face as she turned around. The verdette had a devilish grin on his face as his eyes glowed red, laughing as he followed through.
Kendo went flying down the hall as Izuku landed on his head and rotated like a spinning top, flames roaring from his feet. Then, from spinning, he instantly blasted toward Monoma and kneed his gut, before delivering an uppercut to his chin as he tried to double over.
The observation room rang with "wow" s and "ouch" es.
"Man, Bakugo is strong as hell." Kamakiri said. "No wonder I fucking lost."
Cue the sharp glare from Ibara Shiozaki.
Awase nodded. "I'd hate to get into a fight with him. His damn quirk seems kinda OP, like Sanji." He said, gaining a nod from most of the class.
Shiozaki's glare swung towards him.
Setsuna shook her head. "His quirk is actually pretty dangerous to himself if he isn't careful." She said, gaining everyone's attention and lessening the aura of fury from her female classmate. "His quirk allows him to generate a huge amount of explosive flames that let him go really fast. But there's a huge catch. He can't use it too much, his flames use the oxygen in his body as fuel. If he uses it too much after exhausting his oxygen supply and overheating, he gets this sickness the doctors that found out what his quirk was called "Tephrosis". His flesh will start to become ash and he will be handicapped...permanently." Setsuna explained, a bit of worry peeking from behind that last word.
"So, his quirk is like a double edged sword. One end dishes massive power and the other gets rid of his oxygen." Kaibara said with a finger on his chin.
'Interesting…' Yami thought as he watched the screen showing the current fight.
"Seriously? That was it?" Izuku said as Monoma lay on the ground holding his gut. 'Guess these metal shin guards were too much…' He thought as he then naturally squatted down, subconsciously avoiding a kick from Kendo.
'He dodged that?'
BOOSH!
Izuku then used his quirk to hover in the air and back kicked Kendo in the face. She floated a little, and he went to take advantage by spiking her with the back of his heel. But Itsuka used her quirk to increase the size of her hand and grabbed him by the foot before slamming him into the ground.
Kendo coughed due to the smoke. "Jotaro!"
"Dio!" Izuku shouted back at her, red glowing eyes and a devilish smile. He was walking up to her.
"Oh? You're approaching me? Instead of running away, you are coming right to me?" Kendo said. "Even though your grandfather, Joseph, told you the secret to the world, like an exam student scrambling to finish the problems of an exam until the last moments before the chime?!" She continued, getting into a fighting stance as the smoke in the area started to clear.
"I can't beat the shit out of you without coming closer."
"Oh ho! Then come as close as you like!"
'...What the hell are they doing?' Yami thought, the only one able to hear what the pair were saying. 'I'm gonna beat the crap out of them.'
However one student had understood what was going on, even with only the video feed to go off of.
Manga Fukidashi was practically glowing with joy.
Yami side eyed him. 'If he starts some bullshit too, I'll beat his ass as well.'
Kendo went for a right hook that Izuku dodged. She then expanded the size of her hand and grabbed him, slamming him into the ground and holding him in place. Then an overwhelming pain made her let go. " OW! Did you just bite me?!"
BOOSH!
Izuku then kicked her in the face, using his quirk to propel himself forward. Getting up in her face, he socked her in the mouth before backflipping away.
Before he could fully disengage, though, Itsuka grabbed his ankle and flung him over her head. She then sat on his back and began pulling his leg back.
"You sure you wanna do that?"
"Huh-" Izuku then unleashed fire from the same foot, singing her hair and assaulting her face with heat. He didn't release too much power, but it was enough to force her off of him.
The two were staring at each other. "What happened to kicking my ass?" Kendo said, wiping sweat from her brow.
"I don't know what you are talking about. Your face looks like a burnt Popeyes biscuit." Izuku said, and Itsuka had to admit that he wasn't entirely wrong. She looked far more beat up than him, who looked relatively unscathed. "Looks like the end is nigh, Hero-"
PRRRR BOOSH!
Izuku turned around and saw Monoma...using his quirk? And blasting straight toward him. Well, not straight toward him. The pompous boy missed his initial attack and went straight past Izuku.
"Hmm." Izuku grunted, knowing exactly what was coming next.
Monoma took a ninety degree turn upward and smashed into the ceiling.
Izuku nodded, unsurprised. "One thing to know about my quirk is that it's very hard to control."
With that said, Monoma fell onto the ground in a crumpled heap.
The boy was passed out, his nose bleeding and clearly broken. Itsuka saw this, and turned to retaliate against Izuku. She wasn't expecting him to already be in front of her, however.
Izuku gave her a final grin and gave her a backhanded fist to the jaw. She passed out then and there, falling to the ground like a sack of potatoes as the final wisps of smoke dissipated.
"I will say, that wasn't too easy. Thank you Monoma for being a dumbass."
"The Villains win. Monoma, I'm gonna kick your ass." Yami said into the mic, announcing the victors of the match.
"Huh...Guess that's it, huh?" Izuku activated his mic. "Hey, Kodai. Ya copy?"
"Mm." She hummed into the mic in response.
"You probably already heard, but I won. But Kendo and Monoma are down here passed out, mind helping me carry them?"
"Mhm." The cute sound of agreement sounded through.
"Great, I'm two floors down. See you when you get here." Izuku said before turning off the mic. He thought he would have overheated during that fight, but he wasn't even coughing. He stuck his hands in his pockets. "Good thing this building isn't made of wood…"
After the hero training, other classes went on and it was the end of the day now. "Almost done here. Done." Izuku said as he finished an assignment and put it in his bag. "Just gonna turn it in tomorrow."
"Yo, Izuku." Setsuna said to him. "Kendo ain't back yet. You really backhanded her pretty hard. Not the first impression you want to put on a lady~" She teased, assuming he had a crush on her. This gained a deadpan stare from Izuku.
"I don't like her like that."
"Hmm, alright then." She then split her mouth from her face. "But I bet you want to see Kodai smile again~." She whispered into his ear and Izuku's blush almost made a reappearance.
Thankfully he managed to get his face under control and raised a brow at her as if he didn't know what she was talking about. She sighed and looked at him with a pouty face after reattaching her mouth to her face. "Alright then. Hey, Kodai."
Yui looked at Setsuna with a blank face.
"Izuku says he wants to-" Izuku slapped her hand over her face to prevent her from talking.
Wait. Why was his hand getting wet?
"Did you just fuckin' lick me? What are you, five?" Izuku said with a disgusted sigh as Setsuna giggled. He sighed before turning to Yui. "Mind if we go grab a bite of ice cream or smoothie king or some shit?"
Yui looked at him. She felt her heart skip multiple beats, but she didn't know why. A dust of pink grew on her cheeks. She nodded in response.
"Alright then, we just gotta wait for Katsuki." Izuku grinned.
"Man, what the fuck happened to you?" The three turned to the doorway to see that Itsuka and Katsuki had crossed paths. Kendo scratched the back of her head in embarrassment. She still had some burn marks on her face and some scratches covered by gauze pads.
"Your brother kicked my ass, that's what."
"Yeah, you stood no chance." Izuku said as he walked up to the doorway, bag in hand along with Yui and Setsuna.
"Hey Kacchan~" Setsuna said as she bumped her elbow into his arm. She then got on her tippy toes and kissed his cheek.
Yui couldn't help but imagine her doing that to Izuku. But...why? A subtle blush rose on her blank face once more. She lightly shook her head to gain her composure.
"Oh, Kodai. You should've seen it. Monoma legit crashed into the wall. It was beautiful." Izuku chuckled with a grin across his face.
"So, we headin' out?"
"Eh, sure."
"Why the fuck not. Let's do this shit."
"Autobots, roll out."
"Kendo, I think you've made enough references today."
